Abstract

The pullout test is a nondestructive testing method certified by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and British Standards (BS). Research has shown that it is very reliable in terms of evaluating the concrete strength of reinforced concrete members. However, the pullout test is rarely performed on domestic construction sites due to the complex procedures and high costs involved. This study proposes a new pullout test composed of a post installable break-off bolt, an insert nut, and a pullout tester, which satisfy both economical and practical purposes on a construction site. Three different types of special fastening methods, a temporary fixed bolt, a plastic fixed panel, and a fixed bar, have been developed. A pullout tester is proposed that is driven by the circle force introduced into a handle composed of eight gears without a load cell and a hydraulic cylinder. The serviceability and reliability of these instruments were investigated through experiments at construction sites. Furthermore, the sample pullout test with a wall specimen was conducted to estimate the usefulness of the temporary fixed bolt type of fastening methods and pullout devices. Eventually, the developed instruments will be useful on construction sites if minor requirements are met.

인발법은 콘크리트 강도를 비파괴적으로 측정하는 방법으로 매우 신뢰할 만한 실험결과를 보여주고 구미에서는 규격화되고 표준화가 이루어져 있다. 하지만 시험방법이 복잡하고 시험기기가 고가이어서 국내에서는 사용이 전무한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 인발법이 현장에서 사용하기 쉽도록 시험방법을 간단히 하고 저렴하게 할 수 있도록 후매입 파단형 인발볼트를 이용한 인발시험법을 제안하였으며, 시험법에 필요한 후매입 파단형 인발볼트와 매입인발너트 고정방법, 인발시험기를 개발하였다. 특히 매입인발너트 고정방법으로는 임시고정용 볼트를 이용한 방법, 플라스틱 고정판을 이용한 방법, 고정막대를 이용한 고정방법을 제안하였다. 인발시험기는 유압실린더와 로드셀 등이 필요 없도록 기어를 이용하여 손잡이를 통한 회전력으로 인발시험이 가능하도록 고안하였다. 이 개발된 각각의 항목들은 직접 제작하고 현장에서 그 편리성과 정확성을 검토해 보았으며 검증실험도 실시하였다. 결과적으로 개발된 항목들은 추가적인 수정만 거치면 현장에서 유용하게 사용할 수 있으리라 판단된다.
